Installed 4 lights on Rack

After thinking about it for a few months, I finally pulled the trigger and put 4 lights on the stock roof rack.

Picture before i spaced them out more evenly.


I haven't noticed much reflection off the roof or hood because they are mounted pretty high and the are driving light beam patterns.



Sorry for crappy cell phone pics its the only camera i use.

I would highly advise against that. It's a hefty fine in the state of South Carolina and not sure in other states. I would just run them to a switch.

should wire them to a switch and your high beams. But really, you shouldn't be using them on the street anyways...

Thats what I figured, I would never be driving with them on the street so there is really no need for me to wire them to the high beams.

Well you can wire in a relay to a switch to the high beam but for simplicity sake like I said just a switch would be sufficient and manually turn on the high beams.
